Woot! First review!
I've been a huge fan of both the source material in general and this remix of Blad's for quite some time, and I'm finally glad to see it get its due on OCR! Congrats Blad!

Wow, Blad's got these songs coming in on an assembly line and nice to see he's been working with well-known GrayLightning on this one, also nice to see its from Link's Awakening
Now, this song's very quiet and beautiful. It's soothing to the ear something I'ld listen too on those days where I just want to get away Excellent song, Bladiator and GrayLightning!

Unbelievable. Arguably (certainly in my opinion) the best song to come out of Link's Awakening, Ballad Of The Windfish has been given the royal treatment with this mix. Definitely a wonderful accomplishment, the effort and feeling really shows in the song - can't wait to hear more from the artists.

This is delicious! Wonderfully crafted, I can feel Karl's emotion and Gray's expertise melded to make this excellent final product. Great job both of you!

Hmmm,
Sorry guys this one just doesn't quite resonate well with me. Maybe it's a lack of knowledge of the source tune, maybe it's the soundfonts, maybe it's the way that the progression went... it just didn't quite hit home for me. Blad I've heard better out of you and I only expect better to come. That said, this is truely a beautiful piece outside of my preferences. There are some beautiful moments namely the rise & decline around the 3 minute mark, and there wasn't a note that felt specifically out of place or low quality. It's a well done piece, and worth the effort put into it. Any fan of the game will love this I'm sure. But from what I know you two to be capable of, it doesn't sound like it took you guys that long really. 7/10

It may not resonate with LAOS, but it certainly resonates with me.
Not having read djpretz's write up before listening to it, I had no expectations at all, esspecially after not really enjoying the previous mix released (death metal isn't my thing). And so right from the get go I was startled, shocked by the sound quality and I liked what I heard. My expectations were low, but those expectations were exceeded above and beyond what I've been listening a lot to recently. This is great piano playing. The beginning has a faint "lounge" feel to it more than an orchestral feel, what with the bass (or cello?) backdrop. It doesn't last long though... when more instruments come in, well, I wouldn't call it ORCHESTRAL but it certainly is pretty. Just what I'm looking for in a good mix. The instrumentation really rings in my ears. If I listen carefully, yes, I can tell that these are soundfonts and not live instruments (well, the piano sounds darn convincing, but the rest is slightly recognizable as being generated and not played) but there's no real need to go in that much depth of detail listening to this, I think. I can sit back and ENJOY. And enjoy I am doing! This is a FINE rendition. Everything just FITS together so well! I'm definitely glad that the collaberation was done, because I'd hate to have to listen to this with a fantastic piano and lackluster backup. Very good stuff. The call and responce sections worked well for me. The entire thing is VERY well emoted. I'm having difficulty picking out any specific section to talk about, because it's all so good. Well done. I enjoyed this VERY much, and I look forewards to hearing more out of you.

Only on OCR can you have a pure screaming death metal piece followed by a beautiful piano-driven orchestral piece. That's what I love about this site. This is likely to be one of my new favorites. 9.7/10ish.

-------------------------- In my opinion, itīs so good. A bit ackward maybe. Huh...in the truth, my ears disagree about the quality of this mix. I donīt like this work for some reason. Bladiator and GrayLightning are good mixers. But I really donīt understand what happened with this stuff. Itīs not good for me. I really donīt enjoyed it. Sorry.
